## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 12:24:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain poses a threat as a crypto drainer, targeting users with fake login pages to steal sensitive information. 

PhishDestroy identifies rubic-exchange.co as a high-risk domain, created with the intention of draining cryptocurrency from unsuspecting users, with 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it as malicious, and resolving to the IP address 130.12.180.128.

If a user has visited rubic-exchange.co, they should immediately verify their account activity and report any suspicious transactions, as this domain was taken offline due to its malicious nature, and users can visit PhishDestroy for more information and guidance on how to stay safe from similar threats, using the unique seed 401d00 to track related campaigns

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260609-9D3C5F
Favicon MD5:       e7c267f268a5269b5e549b85df88dff8
TLS cert SHA-256:      5d8adada319dfa39f8c67bdcfbf74e1631b73bc78b8aa70a57e2369a886fe54b

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
